Both? There is like 20. There is a version I found on limewire way back and it just doesn’t exist anymore. Kills. I look for it from time to time and this is the closest one I can find.
love this rare version of the song. this is actually the first version i ever heard. In my opinion, both versions are great, but this one is a little funkyer.
this version is def way better. Their demo versions sounded real, their first album was so overproduced and sounded horrible after hearing these songs for so long
It drives me insane that this isn't the demo version used on the anniversary edition. This is such a great gritty garage punk sound. The very first Billy Talent I ever heard 😊
I love the intro on this version, really adds something extra to the whole track. They should definitely do a re-release of all their old Pezz stuff as a new album(s) under the Billy Talent name.
Hands down THE BEST version of this song. It was actually the first version I heard. The album one isn’t bad but this is just sooo much better. Funky, high energy, and raw. Ugh i wish this was available elsewhere
Just as I began to run You came and stole my legs, Away And why are all the murals only from the past And all those yesterdays? (Is it the same for you) It's not the same for me (Is it the same for you) It's not the same for me (It's not the same for me) Is it the same for you (It's not the same for me) I hope it's not the same for you! So I hold my breath till my heart explodes Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul Cause this is how it is and this is how it Place your hand upon my fire And save me from this world I'm in 'Cause I don't even know myself But my skin feels like it Like it don't fit (Is it the same for you) It's not the same for me (Is it the same for you) It's not the same for me (It's not the same for me) Is it the same for you (It's not the same for me) I hope it's not the same for you So I hold my breath till my heart explodes Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul Cause this is how it is and this is how it This is, how it, it goes This is, how it, it goes This is, how it, it goes This is, how it, it goes Unscrew my head And rinse it out Polish my thoughts Turn into doubts Unscrew my head And rinse it out Polish my thoughts Turn into doubts So I hold my breath till my heart explodes Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes.
Jonathan is honestly one of the bassist in the world!!! He has just the awesome talent to put a melody on a rythmic bass line... he gives me chills everytime i hear him playing o.o so.awesome.
I'll never understand why the energy of this version couldn't be replicated on the big studio version with all those tools at their disposal?... and no, they neutered it
A lot of times it's actually the cleanliness of recordings in big studios that take away the energy. That's why I like this version better because it's recorded "worse".
The energy is still there. Like the other comment said, it's actually the tools you mentioned that take away that raw sound. In the studio you match every part of the song perfectly, you make everything sound how it's supposed to. But on a demo thrown together by the guys there's a lot of imperfections that make it sound so raw. If you want the best of both worlds, listen to their live concert version of This is how it goes. Search for live shows from 2003-2006. The raw sound there was unreal, a lot better than even this demo.
It's neat the way the demo for this and cut the curtains use that blues & funk style. Also the distortion is cranked waay up, which makes it sound messy and unpolished, but I love it. Something really appealing about how raw it is. Also the vocals sound a lot better, I think because the song was originally made around the slower tempo. I too thought this was the original and hadn't heard the album version. When I did, I thought the album version was a really bad demo. It sounded so bad to me in comparison, especially that really synthetic sounding guitar during the verses. Seriously sounds like it came out of a cheap sound mixer.
I'll be 'that guy' and say while this was a cool introduction to departure from the PEZZ sound, I do prefer the BTI album version. It punches harder, and is by far closer to the epic sound that they held throughout the first 3 BT albums. I also miss the production quality that Chris Lord-Alge brought to the table on the first 2.
I was so disappointed when I bought the album and it wasn't this version. My friend had burned me a copy (a long-ass time ago) with this version and I like it a lot more.
Yes! I've been looking for this version for years since I lost the CD I had when I was in high school. IMO, way better than the official release. Can you put that link back up?
As many others have said, I prefer this version best. A very unique take with a tiny taste of funky dance music tossed in with pop punk rock snarl, catchiness and intensity.
he was diagnosed with MS in the end of 1997 -.- and this is how it goes IS aboout it. Don't count on the wicked also is about MS (turning anger into hope is the motto of Aarons organisation F.U.MS, fuck you multiple sclerosis).
thank you so much for this. I remember when it only said "uploaded 2 years ago". I didn't even know wtf he sang until like 2015 haha. This song makes my heart hurt with nostalgia in an awesome way.
This will always be considered the normal version, to me. I never heard the record version until about 2 years after I got in to Billy Talent. I wish they kept the same intro and verse riff they had on this demo, on the album.
Obviously i prefer the album version, but i wish ben sang the chorus like this live, since he lost his screaming voice. It'd be much better on his voice, and its better to the alternative he's doing now.
This was the first version of the song I ever listened to, and what I thought was the normal track for a very long time. In fact, basically the whole album that I was listening to when I was younger sounds different from the "normal" one (to varying degrees). Where did these come from? Was there a full version of the album recorded before signing to a label? And how the hell did this end up in the hands of 12 year old me all of those years ago?
Most of what you say here isn't really true here though... Billy Talent 1 had tons of jazz chords, as did (but to a lesser extent) 2 and 3. But I agree with the attempt to appeal to the masses. Even though I really don't think they wasted their potential.
This is the perfect transition from Pezz to Billy Talent
Great Insight!
You can't even compare both versions. They're too different and they're both awesome as shit
damn yes
Yeah right 😌
100% Spotify doesn't have this version though but it's the one I grew up listing too ;w;
Shit is not awesome. Bad analogy.
Both? There is like 20. There is a version I found on limewire way back and it just doesn’t exist anymore. Kills. I look for it from time to time and this is the closest one I can find.
love this rare version of the song. this is actually the first version i ever heard. In my opinion, both versions are great, but this one is a little funkyer.
This was my first version too, didn't realise it'd be so hard to find now
1st for me too and I like this version better
I love this version way more. Love that funk feel.
Same! This is the version I grew up listing too ;w;
this version is def way better. Their demo versions sounded real, their first album was so overproduced and sounded horrible after hearing these songs for so long
My brain remembered this existed and I couldn’t find it on any music platform. I literally thought I made it up.
this has always been the best version for me. 2021 and I still come back from time to time
same
Me too. Not into The „newer“ one. Kids dont know bootlegs from years ago
also Pezz
the "new" version is literally 20 years old this year
@@Redh0und dont say things like that
His singing 'explodes' at the end of each line, similar to how his heart explodes in the lyrics.
It drives me insane that this isn't the demo version used on the anniversary edition. This is such a great gritty garage punk sound. The very first Billy Talent I ever heard 😊
my bro and me always listened to this version without knowing that it's the demo xD I like both versions but probably this one more!
SailorJupiter2xD I thought the same too, but with 'Try Honesty.'
Thank limewire for that
I love this one more for sure such a cool guitar lick
This IS the version I know and LOVE
Let’s be honest, this song is actually Pezz - “This Is How It Goes”
I love the intro on this version, really adds something extra to the whole track. They should definitely do a re-release of all their old Pezz stuff as a new album(s) under the Billy Talent name.
the intro is amazing
This is the normal one to me.
Way better then the album version.
Same for me, probably downloaded it with Kazaa :-D
SAME!!
Both are good in their own way
Hands down THE BEST version of this song. It was actually the first version I heard. The album one isn’t bad but this is just sooo much better. Funky, high energy, and raw. Ugh i wish this was available elsewhere
Idk Ion really think that funkyness really works with the lyrics ngl
SAME

Just as I began to run
You came and stole my legs, Away
And why are all the murals only from the past
And all those yesterdays?
(Is it the same for you)
It's not the same for me
(Is it the same for you)
It's not the same for me
(It's not the same for me)
Is it the same for you
(It's not the same for me)
I hope it's not the same for you!
So I hold my breath till my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it
Place your hand upon my fire
And save me from this world I'm in
'Cause I don't even know myself
But my skin feels like it
Like it don't fit
(Is it the same for you)
It's not the same for me
(Is it the same for you)
It's not the same for me
(It's not the same for me)
Is it the same for you
(It's not the same for me)
I hope it's not the same for you
So I hold my breath till my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it
This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes
This is, how it, it goes
Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
So I hold my breath till my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes.
So this what happens when you fuse pezz's music with billy talent's
I was gonna say exactly this.
This is pezz doing a BT cover
The other demo is a definite BT demo
and you have the album version
PolarBearPhil you know that pezz and billy talent are the same, do you?
Yeah....pretty much what he said. Same band, VERY different sound.
joe bartholomeus There is another band called pezz.
+Neko Sanda other pezz is nothing like Billy Talent or Pezz there is also a band called P.E.Z
how the flying fuck does this only have around 100k views in 14 years? this is a fucking masterpiece and every BT fan has to know this version!
So true
Jonathan is honestly one of the bassist in the world!!! He has just the awesome talent to put a melody on a rythmic bass line... he gives me chills everytime i hear him playing o.o so.awesome.
Im here because in a old interview he says they made him use a pick or something and hes embarrased about rhis demo!

haha this is the version I had .. revisiting this album on Spotify today and thought I lost my mind. WAY better then the other version.
This is my favorite version!! So glad I found it again!
Wow.... this reminds so of the Pezz music style. .. it's so good
Some nights I wake up in a cold sweat; afraid this won't be here for me in my times of need.
This was the first BT song I ever listened to, and I think that’s why I like it soooo much better than the album version
Who's still loving this song in 2022??? I'm just an early.2000s emo.kid at heart.... even tho I tour tf outta phish these days
The only version that you can found on limewire back on 2005...my fav by the way
Loved this version since 8th grade!! Still the best version
God I love billy talent, love this version
The Bass On This One Is On An Other Level Of Plucky, John Gallant Really Got It
it's strange to hear this version after you heard tousand times the "normal" one!
but i like it
The opposite is also true, homie😅🙌
GO HABS GO. best song ever!
Billy Talent in their Ska phase xD
Nice B-Side, I like this than the other one
This version is much better

I think i legitimately like every version of this song
thank you for uploadin this. been searchin for days ...
love this version so much
I heard this version before the album version & still prefer this =D
Obviously i prefer the album version, but i wish ben sang the chorus like this live, since he lost his screaming voice. It'd be much better on his voice, and its better to the alternative he's doing now.
Wow it's a completely different song. And I love it! Both versions are very good.
Fucking incredible
This is one of my favorite riffs play. This version is way better.
sooo amazing
This version "is not the same for me" it's just as good
THANK YOU
holly sheet
This ones waaaaaay better than the album one (no hate), but my sister and I love this song so much, for us, this is the original one.
I wish this was on Apple Music.
Fuck 😮 first time and im cpnfused but so alive..this is raw, wow! Now i can make 2 song play list for "those days"
OMG this is soo awesome!! *-* I need the Try Honesty EP!!
I prefer this version much more.

Love this sound.
Ben almost sounds like an angry Nardwuar.
How Accurate! Nardwuar Should Definitely Interview Billy Talent Sometime
@@sophialachmann6065 he did
@PunkMusicCity absolutely, I agree with you. and I really like the pezz-sound. it is very cool.
Damn this is the shit I was listening to when I was 13 little black girl jammin out to billy talent😂❤️
Same 🥺🥺 I loved this song so much!
this is kickass!!!!!!
This is so odd to listen to...
This version is a drug
Better than original ! :)
I like this better than the album version. It's got a lot more feeling to it. And better sounding guitars.
"There is how it went" redo this pls, I'll pay you guys
coole demo echt das is der hammer^^
High as f×uck I came here again and again
Oh these guys were so Brooklyn era.
this one is better the chords are so jazzy and interesting
Man when I was a kid and we copped this album off of morpheus we thought this was the original version lmao
@RammZEIT I wasn't disappointed with the album, it's great. I just didn't realize that this version isn't the album version.
they're such an amazing band!
When I smoke weed, I don't listen to Bob Marley; I scream along with Ben
I feel like you get everything from the Album version in the demo, but lose so much from the demo to the album.
Where can i find this song ? Not on spotify
The download link is broken or doesn't exist anymore... :'c
